Also, why the hell is Saturn female. There's no way that can be a male voice, even Harley sounded male-ish.

Saturn is still a guy, they just gave him incredibly feminine eyes, a young face, and a woman by the name of Akemi Okamura voices him. To be honest, I don't think I'll ever get used to his Japanese voice (don't get me wrong, the voice itself is great, just not for him)...I just find it kind of strange that the directors or whoever aren't doing anything to make people understand that, yes, Saturn is, indeed, male.

Sorry if I sound a bit uptight. People have been confusing Saturn's gender since the game was released (or was the Sugimori art released first?) and it's gotten on my nerves a bit.

EDIT:
Overall, I liked this episode quite a bit. The music was especially great - it really fit the mood, but there were a bit too many re-used animation scenes, and I felt that dampened the tension. I think there was too much build-up, so when the conclusion finally came it felt kind of rushed. There were a lot of moments I liked, especially the fact that a spectacularly attentive Galactic grunt lurked up and pointed out Team Rocket, who were concealing themselves behind bushes five inches tall, then when TR started their motto the grunt tensed up and snarled at them. Though I couldn't understand what was being said, I also really liked the ending scene in the chopper - Saturn not being visibly upset that they failed was a nice touch. It seemed like the male grunt asked Saturn if he was okay. I'm probably wrong, though - that's just what I got out of it.

So you'd rather not see the game's villains and one of the more interesting and actually evil characters more often in the show?

A balance between Team Rocket, Galactic and J. would be perfect, ESPECIALLY more Team Galactic considering how important they are supposed to be.

Yea, maybe once in awhile, but not every few episodes. I just don't like the idea of two MAIN villians in a season. But who knows, maybe team galactic will end up fighting Hunter J. I guess we'll have to see how it turns out.

looking back on eleboo I'm not sure it's fat is an animation mistake, when they first met reiji and piplup attacked eleboo it charged head first into it's belly, and just bounced off.
it feels like they are trying to imply that eleboo is actually a tub of lard:/

Well i think the episode was an average episode & the only thing i liked about it is the expressions of Croagunk & Toxicroak and the Volt Punched Tackle combo of Pikachu & Electabuzz.

Also can someone tell me what Reiji was talking to Paul about Ash & also what was Officer Jenny was talking when she introduced TG. Also when Saturn failed to get the meteorites what did he say. Also when that thing which Saturn got from Solaceon Ruins changed it shape did Saturn say it was a Key because i thought i heard key being said by him.

Shinji calls Reiji on the video phone to get Eleboo to use at the Nomose City Gym (the Water-type gym). Reiji also tells him that he met Satoshi-tachi and that he got the Gym Badge, but Shinji replies that anyone could have won against the Tobari City Gym Leader.

Dogasu translated.

Thanks for the translation, Durden :3. It's sad to see how Paul can be mean to a gym leader.

I think Paul phoned to see how eleboo was doing and to catch up with Reiji (well how about that he cares).

I don't think he was calling to get the fat thunder just yet, I mean did he get to pastoria in three episodes? It's the longest road to a gym in the game(except the snow way)! I bet he called from the resort or some filler pokecenter along the way.

The road to Pastoria isn't really that long. And the second longest I think would be Eterna to Veilstone. And that took about 20 episodes, right?

ok, so im just gonna guess that the writers decided to change toxicroak's default color to teal b/c they didnt want to give saturn a shiny? im only saying this b/c i thought that if a pokemon was shiny, then the pokedex picture would be the standard color, but toxicroak's wasn't the dark blue, so idk.

Trying my best! :P

-Officer Jenny said something like 'You think we do not know about your recent activities? Working secretly as an organization, Team Galactic'.

-In addition, during the conversation with Paul, Reiji said that Ash is an interesting trainer and that he has high hopes on him. Paul just kinda shrugs and says its not surprising that they met Reiji in Veilstone.

- Saturn said something about the key that started the legend of sinnoh, thats the Key of Spear. And that the Key of Spear is indeed related to the meteorites.

-His henchman apologized for failing to bring back less meteorites than they stated. Saturn says that its enough to craft some necklace and then next, they're after those 3 entities in the lake. Nothing special after that, just telling the headquarters that they're successful and have retreated.

Looks like we will get to see Croagunk fighting Toxicroak again when Takeshi told Croagunk it'll have to wait for the next time to continue the battle.
